Spending $117m for Ninja Theory seems like a steal now.

konnichiwa said: 3 M is certainly not bad at all especially considering it didn't release in any holiday like FFXV did. |
not to mention costs of entry (game+console) is higher, there's some nuances. I think 3m is pretty solid but FF usually pretty front loaded so need to see the legs. Doubt SE are happy tho, as they never are.
edit: idk why I thought it was sold, but shipped + digital makes it less impressive lol my bad. Really makes u wonder if they overshipped it considering they were worried about preorders.

"People at Activision were playing it" and thought it was a great idea. Think about military conflicts throughout history – "you would never really run out of ideas if you used that as a construct."
